Re: [Dev-C++] Clocking a second

[Robert D B. <lon...@ju...>]

Try this:
#include <ctime>

void delay(int seconds)
{
     clock_t current, end;

     current = clock();
     end = current + CLOCKS_PER_SEC * seconds;

     while(current < end)
         current = clock();        // loop while current not equal end
}
